The rooms are not worth the price, I spoke to other guests as well and they felt the same. They arranged an activity which was not well Managed. Felt like they were short of staff as no one came when we needed them. The buffet was not well managed as well- short of dining plates, tables were not clean- we had to eat on a dirty table, and some guests had breakfast in the gallery adjoining the restaurant. We asked a person to clean the table, but no luck! The food was also not good. It was hard to find someone to attend the guests. The reception is on the 5 floors but the rooms are on the ground floor. The view from reception is good but not from the room, but still, they sell it as the Valley views

Nice Hotel But Need Bed Bug Extermination ASAP!
We were having a wonderful stay till we were hit by the Bed Bugs in our room. They were all over the place. At-least one night got spoiled due to them. The management seemed unaware of the issue; however, reacted quickly and changed our room. But, bed bug were always in our mind during our stay after the incident.

Disappointing, feel cheated
Stayed there for 2-3 days. One of the two managers never seemed receptive. It was monsoon season so was raining most of the time. I asked them to arrange for cab for sight visits. Manager told me that he can arrange but he gave me a rate that was 1.5 times the market rate (I had enquired when i got down in munnar in the morning). I told him about the rate that i had heard in the morning. he told me that I can arrange it for myself in that case. Since the hotel is far from city, it would have been difficult to do so in rain. For ease, I booked the cab at the premium price for 2 days, assuming that at premium price, I could trust these guys for a good service. On the second day, after the sight visits, the cab driver took me to couple of places for buying "specialities" of Munnar, before dropping for return journey (check about Kerala farms, Munnar). Mind you, there is very low or no net connectivity at most of these places. I asked the driver before doing purchase. After coming back from Munnar, I read the review of the purchases I made. Apparently, these places are sort of ambushes. They sell fake and overpriced products (in name of herbal medicines), and of course the locals know it. May be that is the reason, the manager asked for cash for the cab and did not even gave the receipt. After reading the reviews of the products, i am even scared to use it now. In short, the staff of this place will rip you off if you trust them. Not expected after paying premium for everything

Family trip
I checked in with my parents. The staff welcomed us with refreshments. I had only booked basic Valley view. The hotel offered an free upgrade. They made sure they kept my parents room next to mine. Which was nice. However maintainence in the room was poor. Few things were not right but they send me someone to assist and got all fixed. View stunning and very peaceful. Food options are very limited. Its better to take ala Carte menu during dinner. Dinner buffet is not good. Very little choice. Break fast is good. View during breakfast is good. Very friendly staff. The waterfall near by is definitely a morning walk.

I arrived and was meant with traditional Indian welcome and refreshments. The staff upgraded my room and took care of my diet requirements. The manager provided a complimentary jeep safari and lunch to me which was very generous and my stay was extremely relaxing, enjoyable and fun. The food was good, the staff were very attentive to the customer's needs and always with a smile on thier face.

Peace, beauty and tranquility.
We enjoyed the location of this hotel, set outside Munnar. We had lovely views of the surrounding area from our room and it was pleasant to sit on the balcony looking out over this beautiful scenery. It was also very peaceful here. The staff are courteous and friendly and try hard to please you and make your stay an enjoyable one.They could do with adding a bit of colour to the very large main foyer and reception as it does lack ambience

Overrated Hotel that really is not upto standard
i have many issues with this hotel and i will seperatlet write to Exedia re the advertising of this hotel. 1. After check in i was give an" activities sheet" noting hot water is ONLY availabe frim 5.30 to 10.30 am and 5.30 to 10.30 PM . 2. WIFI is available ONLY in reception. 3. Breakfast is ONLY indian foods. Eggs available but n bacon, sausages. I asked if they have a meat or checken curry to eat the "riti" and was advised that no meat is served at breakfast. 4. Very limited and poor breakfast. 5. Restaurenet linien was reused with stains frim glasses and spills. This was all the time. 6. For lunch on day 1 i was advised by receptin it was a buffet. When i went it was alacarte. I ordered muttin and they advised they had no muttin only checken and fish. KEEP IB MIND THIS IS A 4 STAR HOTEL. 7. The pillow cases and linen was very old The pillow case even had a hole in it. I have a photo to prove this. 8. There are 2 wooden slat seats in the grden looking out to the tea state. The slats are even loose and i was worried it woud break. Overall this is NOT for foreign nationals. Maybe indians think this is a great hotel as it is so well built and beautifull scenery. . This should be re rated to a 3 star at the most and rates reduced immediatley.

hotel in the mountains
While the scenery in Munnar is glorious and the views from the hotel are spectacular, the hotel does not cater to North American standards such as dry towels, enough towels, clean rooms, consistency in restocking of room items,English speaking staff, consistent wifi connection. Also, there is no alcohol available since it doesn't meet Kerela's 4* plus rating.

Stay is Ok. 7km from the town, drive way is narrow
I had a 3 days trip with my wife and 1 year old son. Stayed in valley view room. Stay was Ok. Room is a bit small.Though i did book the room much earlier with a special request for upper floor, i got a room in 1st floor only. You need to get an upper floor room if you need a good valley view. Otherwise the trees will cover your view and its not worth it. reception is on 5th floor and restaurant on 4th floor. View from both these places are amazing. Hotel is near to Attukad waterfalls and the drive to the falls is good (about 1.5 km) Hotel does not have a good parking place, if you are going in season, you may end up having trouble with parking space. Drive way to the hotel is too narrow, if you have a bigger car, you may struggle a bit on the ramp, however, that is expected on a hill station. Food was considerably Ok. Buffet seriously misses the verity, however, what you get is of good quality. btw, don't miss the welcome drink (black tea), that was awesome!! I went to "Tall Trees" for lunch and the place was good for a visit and lunch. Important note: Please avoid peak season, the place is too crowded and you just loose the fun. I got stuck in traffic for 2 hours before reaching hotel and i heard other who came later got stuck for 3-4 hours!! So, during peak seasons this happens and if you are interested in site seeing, you will end up crossing this traffic jam every day of your stay because, all the place apart from the attukad waterfalls is on the other side of the town.

Great location -Good service
Very picturesque location, excellent reception staff, very apt building architecture, good layouts, clean rooms, excellent dining hall, fairly good service in the restaurant, menu selection fairly good, food taste - fairly good, compact gym, good cleaning service. Would suggest the following comments, to improve: 1. Provide in WiFi in rooms. The available WiFi in the reception is pathetically slow!. 2. Restaurant menu should contain more "localized"dishes - the innovativeness of the menu selection plays an important role when guests are on a relaxing holiday retreat. 3. Maintenance of common areas - peeling wall paint, dampness stains in the dining hall, structure damages in the corridors, etc., - these give a very bad impression in an otherwise good building. 4. Increase the visibility of the direction signage boards from at least 5 km away, to help guests avoid overshooting the correct turn-offs.

Our Stay at Devonshire Green (Munnar) was very comfortable. The hotel was very peaceful and has an ideal location. Our room offered excellent view of the hills and the overall ambience of the hotel was excellent. A special mention for the staff, they were very friendly and took good care of us. All our sight seeing trips were promptly arranged through hotel reception. Also the food offered at the Hotel's restaurant is excellent which offers a good mix of north Indian and local delicacies. The only problem I could think of was mobile network especially Airtel. Would certainly recommend this hotel to those who like to Visit Munnar.

Very nice new hotel in beautiful area
Room was adequate in size and very clean. The restaurant had an excellent selection of very good food and very helpful staff. It is in the region of munnar with beautiful tea plantations. It is close to the tea processing plant and museum which is well worth a visit. The room was not air conditioned but not really necessary as munnar is high enough to be quite cool,

The stay was in general good if it not were for the fact that the hotel does not have hot water 24 hours. They turn off the heaters during certain hours of the day. Another aspect that I didn't like were the table cloths in the restaurant were very dirty. The location of the hotel is beautiful and the architecture of the hotel is very nice.

Great place to stay in Munnar. The views from the rooms are spectacular and the staff very accommodating. Keep in mind they are up in the mountains. A few things to be aware of: they offer hot water for limited hours 5pm - 10am I believe. The wi-fi is only in the lobby but it's a big comfortable lobby with plenty of seating.

Excellent Location
Concidering that Munnar is a hill station and not a city, the overall standard of this hotel was excellent. We stayed 6 nights and had a very comfortable stay. The food is good and service excellent. Location of hotel is wonderful so would recommend room with balcony that overlooks the tea plantations. Walks from hotel are excellent, if you have time walk to Munner town across the plantation ( about 4 hrs ) and along the upper road by the dam and back to hotel ( 4-5 hrs ). Only negative is wifi access, it is slow and only available in lobby. Not the cheapest hotel but overall good value for your money.

Overpriced
We had 3 days at this hotel and given that there is not so many hotel options for foreign visitors in Munnar , this may be one of the best. Despite booking 3 months prior to our stay ( and having written confirmation from Hotels.com) we were informed on the day before Christmas eve that we did not have a booking. This was particularly disconcerting given the time of year. Once we arrived at the hotel we were FINALLY given an upgrade. However given this hotel is only one year old, it needs some maintenance issues sorted. There was no wifi in rooms, no hot water in showers from after 10:00am and before 6:00pm. The BEST person in this hotel was Jose the restaurant manager who went out of his way to look after the comfort of the guests. We felt this was a very over rated expensive hotel.
